Other ways to cope
- Get your facts from medical experts, not from rumors or random social media posts.
- Do not get obsessed with the news.
- Give yourself a chance to be distracted from bad news, by watching movies or comedies.
- Use this time for the activities you always wanted to do but did not have time.
- Keep your routines. Go to bed and get up at the same time you did before, and eat your normal meals.
- If you are a social person, stay connected via phone, video chat, or other technology.
- Stay physically active as it not only improves your physical health and immune system but also helps with depression and anxiety.
- Meditate and use mindfulness techniques.
- Work on your yard or gardening projects.
